Posts from December, 2010⁽⁶⁾

the weather channel says it’s not raining outside right now, but i’m afraid that it is. accuweather says it’s rained this morning, but would stop before breakfast, but i’m afraid it hasn’t.

the costa rican weather service says it’s going to rain, but gives out it’s forcasts by thirds of the country — which is a bit like saying that it’s going to rain somewhere between michigan and maine today.

all of this appears to have made the costa ricans into weather philosophers. when we asked for the weather outlook, the nice young lady at the front desk said:

it looks rainy today, but it was beautiful yesterday. it could be beautiful tomorrow, too. who can say?

awesome.

with great power comes great responsibility, and sparklet’s new found power of walking are starting to have great impacts — to her cranium.

in the last twenty four hours, she has walked into two walls, collided into both the bed and the crib at full ramming speed, and fallen over about a dozen times.

this afternoon, she did a full double gainer into the pool and then tried to breathe underwater — neither of which turned out well.

(i’d give the flip a 4.2, but there was a discernable splash when she entered the water…)

in semi-related news, she invented a new game today — called “toss mommy’s shoes into the pool.” she clearly thought it was the best game ever. so did mommmy.

so did i — until she started to reach for my stuff.
